One of world’s most famous fashion icon hits the Silver Screen.
Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, one of the world’s most controversial and famous fashion icon has a biographical movie based on her life which will open in the States sometime at the end of the year. Called Coco Avant Chanel, this movie has already opened in France. Audrey Tautou is the lead playing Gabrielle Coco Chanel. “Coco Avant Chanel” will chronicle the French designer’s humble early years as she revolutionized the fashion world in her day and age.
This rendition of her life is based on the novel “Chanel and Her World” by Edmonde Charles-Roux and will stick to the story of her childhood, the beginning’s of Chanel, and end with scenes of her very first runway show. The movie’s costume designer, Catherine Leterrier teamed up with Karl Lagerfeld to show audiences how truly unique Coco’s style was in comparison to other ladies of her time.
We expect Hong Kong’s fashionistas will be rushing off to see this movie when it comes out on June 11th in Hong Kong.
Chanel will be the first fashion house to design a guitar. Could it be that Karl Lagerfeld is a guitar player? Actually its great marketing and a fantastic way to keep Chanel on the cutting edge in the luxury brand category. Chanel tends to come out with one special item each season that they have not design for already. There was the Chanel bike and snowboard in the past. Now we have the Chanel guitar.
Time to check out the spring collection at Harvey Nichols.
Harvey Nichols is certainly one of Hong Kong’s fashion power houses. The buyers at Harvey Nichols have picked the best from the fashion runways of Paris, Milan and New York to bring Hong Kong’s stylish fashionistas a store full of gorgeous fashion.
With a stable of international designers from Balmain, Karl Lagerfeld, Nina Ricci, Emanuel Ungaro, Matthew Williamson and some of the most exciting young designers today like Phillip Lam, Rodarte and Alexander Wang, Harvey Nichols is a definite destination if you are serious about fashion.
Here’s our pick from Balmain. We love the French couturier interpretation of the 80′s especially the Drummer -boy Michael Jackson jacket with crystal encrusted details.
Chanel returns to Coco’s vision of design for next year.
Karl Lagerfeld, taking cues from old school Chanel designs, creates a spring collection that is classic and modern at the same time. The fitted Chanel suit goes under Lagerfeld’s talented scalpel and emerges more fitted, with wide shoulders and a little bit belly exposing. Criss-crossing halters get embellished with pearls on chains and the skirt-suits get softened by cropped jackets in sweet fabrics and prints.
In Karl Lagerfeld’s spring vision the prim and proper lady has taken a wild romp and emerged a little undone. Exposed hems and messy updo’s are the look du jour. The glamorous evening wear in this collection takes a surprisingly fairy tale turn. This is a fantastic, dreamy collection by a legendary designer, and it deserves your full attention.
